A Health Care Dispatch from Amsterdam

I have been out of the country now for about fifteen days and have religiously kept up with this monstrosity of a health care reform bill through the wonder that is Twitter.  It saddens me that the Progressives are so hell bent on taking away our freedom that they are using every legal and extra-legal parliamentary shenanigan ever devised to pass this unpopular legislation.  They think that they are being so clever with their “Reconciliation” and “Deemed Passed” and Stupak’s a non-binding political cover vote AFTER the bill is passed and the sleazy open bribes for votes…all the while ignoring the will of the people who are solidly in opposition to this bill.  As with everything else this leftist wrecking crew in Congress and the White House devises; it’s all about the spin, and the President’s ego and a government takeover of every aspect of our lives.  We liberty loving Americans are viewed as a dying breed of no consequence.

24 Great Americans To Watch For 2012

Dreaming about the future of our great country, and the leadership we need to break this unfortunate cycle of socialism, brought me to list those who I believe are our allies in this fight for liberty.  Before we officially enter into the 2010 and 2012 election cycles, (apparently at the exact same moment after midnight on January 1, 2010) we should all sit back and reflect on what we want our government to look like in 2013.

What we want is a government of “We the People” and that can only happen when we dispense with the socialists in power today while concurrently thanking and dismissing the ‘business as usual’ RINOs from the GOP.  We need candidates that believe in liberty, free-markets and our Constitution.  It’s high time we stopped being overly polite, politically correct and reaching across the aisle to these enemies of our liberty.  Bipartisanship, my friends, died with the Senate vote on Christmas Eve….Senate decorum be damned; bipartisanship is a thing of the past.  Now it’s time to elect conservatives, libertarians and independents who believe in our Constitution and will maintain their integrity and conservative principles before and AFTER the 2012 election.  Full stop.

So here’s my 2012 ‘Leadership Dream Team’ of 24 right-thinking great Americans who deserve our support.  For your convenience, I’ve slotted them into the leadership positions that work best for my vision of America’s future.  What is yours?  You are more than welcome to argue the merits of each candidate on the list and I reserve the right to ‘revise and extend my remarks’ as we go through the next two years and learn more about each.  So whom did I leave off the list?  Who should not be on the list?  Discuss among yourselves and comment!

Barry Soetero and His Narcissistic Presidential Disorder

The Anointed One has probably been on the presidential fast track since he was an Indonesian student named Barry Soetero at Occidental College.  This fast track life molded BHO into a classic narcissist.  As a rookie narcissist he lied to obtain a scholarship reserved for foreign students because he felt he was entitled.  Now, as a full-blown narcissist, he feels entitled to force his socialist beliefs on America.  Reviewing the description of narcissism at the www.MayoClinic.com site got me to thinking…read the symptoms below and tell me it doesn’t sound like The Anointed One.

Sustainable Development, Agenda 21, Copenhagen Protocol, Maurice Strong, Al Gore…All Wrong!

Keynote Speech by Maurice Strong at High-Level Dialogue on Climate Change in Asia and Pacific: A Development Challenge, ADB Headquarters in Manila, Philippines in Manila on June 16-17, 2009

“In a market economy which drives the processes of globalization, the market provides the signals that motivate sustainable development. This means shifting taxes to products and practices which are environmentally and socially harmful from those which are least harmful. In effect, getting the prices right. No nation can do this alone without disadvantaging its own economy; it can only be effectively done within an internationally agreed framework.”

Be very afraid…Maurice and his buddy Al Gore are up to no good and you will pay for it.  Come to know the terms ‘Sustainable Development’ and ‘Agenda 21′ and understand that these are the basis for the Copenhagen Protocol which will strip the United States of its sovereignty in the name of Climate Change.  This agreement, of which a draft is NOT offered for review on the UN site (http://en.cop15.dk/), will begin to fulfill the socialist agenda of wealth transfer from the rich country (that would be us) to the poor countries (that would be everyone else save maybe the UK who has big time consumed the climate change KoolAid).  This is bad for everyone except China and India who will refuse to go along in favor of building their industries…and economies at the expense of the US.

Read Chapter 8 of Agenda 21 (http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/agenda21/) and then start protesting to the Senate to NEVER ratify this Protocol.  A prediction…The Anointed One will valiantly swoop out of the sky in Air Force One landing in Copenhagen just in time to take credit for the agreed Protocol.  And, a small silver cloud here, he will annoy the Euro-Socialists in doing so.  We can only hope his failure to bully the IOC for Chicago will be repeated with Copenhagen 2009.

What is Objectivism?

Answered by William Thomas on The Atlas Society website:

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.
— Ayn Rand, Appendix to Atlas Shrugged

Objectivism is the philosophy of rational individualism founded by Ayn Rand (1905-1982). In novels such as The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, Rand dramatized her ideal man, the producer who lives by his own effort and does not give or receive the undeserved, who honors achievement and rejects envy.

So It’s Come to this With the RNC

I just fielded a call from the Republican National Committee interrupting my multi-slacking use of Twitter as I was following the outpouring of health care reform lies from the umpteenth staged Presidential ‘Town Hall’.  Hey…does anyone else cringe when they hear the term “Town Hall” now besides me?  Anyway, after a rambling, Obama-bashing preamble, he asked if I would “like to become a full member of the RNC for $200 or would $100 work better for me?”  How about neither?

A Clear Cut Case of Beverage Profiling

The Most Interesting Man in the World, when he drinks beer, drinks Dos Equis.  The Anointed One, when he drinks beer, seems to lean towards a brew that is amber in color with a touch of bitterness.  And with the greatest alcoholic, err…political punch.  So in St. Louis for the MLB All-Star game he famously drank Budweiser.  If the game had been in Denver he would have sipped an ice cold Coors.  And, if the game had been played in Milwaukee, he would have been quaffing Miller High Life.  But his awkward attempts at the common touch are used solely to appeal to the common man (or woman) for political purposes.   And so is his invitation to his racist buddy Skip Gates and the dedicated Cambridge police officer, Sgt. Crowley, to join him for a brew to clear the air.

Why We Should Get To Know All 435 of the Bastards…

…and their spouses and partners and significant others.  And probably their dads and moms and brothers and sisters and kids and all the rest of their shirt-tail relatives as well.  Why is it that every time you turn over a rock in the Democratic Party and the roaches go scurrying there is always a back-story that involves criminal activity?

The Social Media Party

We are all Twittering and Facebooking and blogging and emailing and surfing the internet in search of answers to the current political crisis.  And we are angry…very angry.  We can’t quite grasp our new political identity but we know there are hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of Americans who, like us, completely disagree with the DemoFascists and VichyRepublicans jointly stampeding our country over the ill-fated Cliffs of Socialism.  Are we Reagan Conservatives?  @RonPaul_2012 Libertarians?  Are we Independents so independent that we don’t even have a patron saint like Reagan or Paul?  Or have we become The Social Media Party?

Automobile Unification Plan

On a recent evening I was taking a break from non-stop Fox News Channel viewing and innocently enjoying the guilty pleasure of the finale to CBS’s “Survivor”.  During the commercial breaks one new advertisement kept appearing that just seemed out of place.  Who had ever heard of Ally Bank and why were they flush enough to put multiple ads on, what might be termed, the Super Bowl episode of reality TV?  My curiosity finally got the best of me and it was off to query my friend Google about this Ally Bank.  What I found was, sadly, our tax dollars at work in Detroit.  Is this Automobile Unification Plan (OK, so the Fascists call it a bailout) any different than the Railroad Unification Plan or the Steel Unification Plan of ‘Atlas Shrugged’?  I think not.
